Explored through the dynamic of a mother-daughter relationship, In Two Minds is deeply personal, inventive, funny and life-affirming. As a new work it plays with both the fascinating allure and the challenges of living with bipolar disorder. From the stellar writer Joanne Ryan (Lustrum Award winner) and director Sarah Jane Scaife (Beckett sa Chreig: Laethanta Sona) comes a tale of the adult child and parent sharing the same home. Pom Boyd (The Dry) and Karen McCartney (A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings) perform a delicate piece grappling with mental health, love and humanity.

In Two Minds finds insight in the darkness, humour in the pain and tenderness in difficult family dynamics. In Two Minds will have its world premiere at Dublin Theatre Festival 2023.

Joanne Ryan, collaborating with her mother, has written a play that uses honesty, humour and compassion to portray the highs and lows for a daughter living with a mother with Bipolar Disorder. In Two Minds is a play that both entertains and educates the audience. This play helps reduce stigma for those not familiar with Bipolar Dis- order and also provides many unique insights for those of us who work in mental health.
